Beth Hughes/ Prov. Arch/ 04.11.12
Making:
I am currently creating collages with found/ printed materials.
I am working around the loose idea of the architecture of power, more specifically brutalist architecture, the architecture of bunkers/ concrete/ defence and ultimately the psychological impact of these kinds of architecture.
I am collaging both with paper and on Photoshop. I’m working towards a series of images that can be displayed together as an installation.
I have a few ideas as to how I will develop these collages, one of which being that they would be presented on a TV screen (or two… or three) and cut with video footage (It wouldn’t have a linear narrative but be more a collage of related imagery).
Reading:
Paul Virilio ‘Bunker Archaeology’
Frederic Chaubin ‘CCCP - Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed’
Martin Parr ‘Boring Postcards USA: Insights into American social, cultural and architectural values’
Peter York ‘Dictators' Homes: Lifestyles of the World's Most Colourful Despots’
